WNYC Radio Interview with Chancellor Modica on SGU-HHC Contract

The Brian Lehrer show of WNYC, New York’s flagship public radio station had a 20 minute segment entitled “Clerkships at New York City Hospitals” in response to a Monday, August 4th article in the New York Times on New York City’s Health and Hospital Corporation (HHC)’s contract with St. George’s University for the training of SGU’s third and fourth year students.

Thanks to a new contract, students from a Caribbean-based medical school will receive clinical training at some of New York City's public hospitals. But the new deal could mean fewer clerkship positions for students from medical schools in New York. Charles Modica, Chancellor of St.George's University and Dr. Michael Reichgott of Albert Einstein Medical School, talk about the anatomy of the deal.
